The C7 is a Z06 and this track definitely benefits supercharged or turbo charged cars versus normally aspirated. Mile high at Bandimere Raceway in Colorado. Cars are always down in performance, there, compared to sea level.
I don’t get why people are surprised by the C7 Z beating the C8 in a quarter mile. I’ve run 3 with my Z, 3-0 so far. Looking forward to seeing what the c8 Z06 offers. That should be a beast
Keep in mind that a normal C7 would be a 13+ second car at this track at about 108 MPH. This track is easily a second slower for NA cars versus places like PBIR at sea level.
I don't get it. 650HP vette beats 495HP vette. Am I missing something???
its not just about horsepower you have to factor in suspension, tires, transmission, driver and as some have mentioned, elevation. If the z06 had drag radials thats a pretty big advantage right there. All things being equal this race would have been much closer.
